Great Food Country, Quicksand City.

After Zhu Jingyuan sent Chu Yuqiang away that day, he called Sister An Xiaona and Luo Feiya alone.

Under the curious eyes of the three little girls, Zhu Jingyuan announced to them quite seriously:

"I won't be returning to Daming Jingshi in the next few years or even ten years, and I may travel to many places.

"Now you have two choices now, one is to stay with me, and wherever I go, you will transfer to wherever you go until you graduate.

"The second is to follow the Zhoushan Island passenger ship to Daming Jingshi now, start the formal independent study abroad process, and come to me after graduation."

For Zhu Jingyuan, it is quite a big thing, and for the three girls, it is also like a bolt from the blue.

However, just like Zhu Jingyuan himself, the three girls quickly made a choice.

An Xiaofu, who usually doesn't talk much, was the first to speak:

"I choose to stay with Your Highness, and beg Your Highness not to abandon our ......"

An Xiaona also immediately followed the rhythm:

"Although we want to go to Daming Jingshi, we are here to be His Highness's maidservants, what can we do when we go to Jingshi to study?"

The youngest Rofia was the last to speak:

"I want to go to Jingshi to play, but I don't want to study there, if Your Highness doesn't go, then I won't go either......"

Zhu Jingyuan actually hopes that they will choose to study abroad first, and then come back to help them after learning knowledge.

But at the same time, they are worried that they will not deviate from their way of thinking if they are not by their side for a long time and do not have the influence and blessing of their own thinking.

If you send it to Jingshi, you have to check it again when you come back to make sure that it still meets your requirements before you can continue to use it.

Although the three of them are not particularly important, after all, they have been raised for four months, and even kittens and puppies have feelings.

So much so that Zhu Jingyuan himself was a little undecided:

"You really don't go to Jingshi? I'm serious, I'm not testing you, and I'm not saying I don't need you.

"You can go to school for a few years, and then come to work with me when you graduate at the age of twenty......"

An Xiaona subconsciously said:

"If you become an old woman at the age of twenty, you won't have a chance, I don't want to ......"

The other two also nodded:

"Hmmm......"

Regarding the fact that they couldn't go to Jingshi, the three little girls were obviously a little disappointed.

But the choice of deciding not to go to Jingshi and continuing to stay by Zhu Jingyuan's side has no room for hesitation and consideration.

After all, in their own cognition, their identities are all Zhu Jingyuan's personal maidservants, and the highest goal is the kind of servant girl who gives birth to Zhu Jingyuan.

The most important thing for this kind of identity is to follow the owner as much as possible.

Now I am studying hard just to achieve this goal.

Zhu Jingyuan saw that they made a choice, and he was no longer entangled:

"In that case, then you can stay here with peace of mind, and don't worry about going to Jingshi in your heart......"

The three little girls also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately replied quite neatly:

"Yes, Your Highness."

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhu Jingyuan's telegram edict of "Governor-General's Military, Political and Foreign Affairs in the Da Qin Hai, and Mozhou Regions" was officially issued.

The current tasks of all military, political and diplomatic personnel in the relevant areas remain unchanged, and all major follow-up matters need to be reported to Zhu Jingyuan first.

Zhu Jingyuan could issue orders to relevant personnel, and directly appoint and dismiss all military and political officials, but they needed to be submitted to the imperial court for filing.

At the same time, the relevant information was sent directly to all relevant institutions and personnel through telegram.

It will take some time for the decree of the appointment to arrive.

Three days later, the day after Chu Yuqiang left Quicksand City, the Zhoushan Island passenger ship set off again.

The Xianbei Guogong family will also take the Zhoushan Island to the Tianzhu area.

Then change to a train and cross the railway network of Persia, Khiva and Kazakhstan to return to the capital of the Western Xianbei Kingdom.

Luo Feiya officially said goodbye to her family, and the mother and daughter cried on the dock.

Zhu Jingyuan gave Wang Lai a few simple drafts of design ideas.

There are three-ode tubes, amplifiers or amplifiers, color film production ideas, and film recording and playback schemes.

Petroleum catalytic cracking technology, synthetic materials research direction, as well as some other machinery and weapons equipment.

There are many things that Zhu Jingyuan does not know the detailed drawings, and can only give introductions and requirements in one direction.

But it's also very important.

The so-called late-mover advantage is often that there are explorers who have found the right direction by venturing their way.

The pursuer just needs to go straight in the right direction.

Zhu Jingyuan directly gave the direction, which allowed Daming, the first mover, to grasp a certain late-mover advantage, and could avoid being caught up by the real latecomer.

At the same time, Zhu Jingyuan will do a lot of things himself, but his research and development capabilities in Da Shiguo are very limited.

If you have to toss yourself in order to monopolize the relevant technology, it will slow down the development of the entire Ming Dynasty.

It will also slow down the speed at which you can use the relevant technology.

Zhu Jingyuan asked Shen Fu to help him bring three letters, respectively to his father, mother, and grandfather.

In addition to the greetings between relatives, the things that were explained and asked to the three of them were different.

For my father and grandfather, I want to make a policy, book the city I want to go to in advance, and prepare the living facilities and other necessary conditions in advance.

At the same time, he privately asked the opinions of the two elders whether it was appropriate for him to run his own navy and air force in the Great Food Country.

The main thing for the mother is about the company, arranging the direction of production and R&D.

In addition, remind that after the training of Chunxiang and Qiuyue is over, they will be sent to themselves.

Zhu Jingyuan waved goodbye to several important personnel, and sighed softly after watching everyone get on the boat.

From now on, he officially broke away from the central court of the Ming Dynasty and became the king of the vassal state.

With the idea of changing his mood, Zhu Jingyuan stood on the dock and observed his own country and his capital.

Three handmaidens and a few of their subordinates stood by.

As a result, it didn't take long for a guard to come to the dock on his bicycle and hand a telegram to Guan Tianpei.

Guan Tianpei forwarded it to Zhu Jingyuan.

Zhu Jingyuan glanced at it with some confusion, and a smile appeared on his originally melancholy face:

"In the southwestern part of the peninsula, the last separatist force has been eliminated, and the Dashi Peninsula has been officially unified......"

After reading it, Zhu Jingyuan handed the telegram to the staff Lin Zexu and Niu Jian around him, and at the same time instructed the staff and the courtiers of the palace:

"Reply to the relevant troops, take over the remaining local settlements, and if there are still people in the local area, disperse them and send them to Persia to manage.

"Arrange for the militia to build up troops and stay in the important area of Tuntian for at least five years, occasionally with a small number of armed immigrants to settle down.

"Control, restore and upgrade the construction of the most important port in the region, Aden, as a transit point for the Xiaoxiyang and Daqin sea routes.

"After the mountains are cleared, let's develop some tourist resorts in the valleys with a suitable local climate."

The coastal area in the southwest of the Oshoku Peninsula is the only semi-humid area in the entire Oshi Peninsula.

Because the southwestern part of the Oshima Peninsula is a plateau, there is also a coastal mountain range along the coast.

A small amount of water vapor from the ocean forms a topographic rain at the foot of the mountain, which in turn creates a truly green slope.

Among the mountains in the southwestern corner of the peninsula, there is the only place on the entire peninsula that receives more than 500 millimeters of annual precipitation.

It is home to the only verdant jungle on the peninsula and the only non-seasonal river on the peninsula.

It is located in the tropics, but at the same time it is a plateau, and the valley is warm in winter and cool in summer.

In summer, the temperature rarely exceeds 30 degrees, and most of the time the temperature does not exceed 27 degrees.

In winter, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the temperature is usually 20 degrees during the day, and the temperature is below 10 degrees at night, not lower than zero.

These valleys are rich in spices and fruits, which can be used for cultivation.

Before the Industrial Age, it was the richest area of the entire peninsula and was the birthplace of the Big Food Culture.

Unfortunately, these places are small in size, and the terrain is uneven, and the precipitation is concentrated in the mountainous interior, and when it reaches the coast, it becomes arid.

If the Great Food Country is really an independent Big Food Country, then it can only find a way to concentrate on developing and building here.

It's a pity, but also fortunately, the Great Food Country is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

This chosen place on the Great Food Peninsula is just as important to the Great Food Country, but it is no longer so important.

Control and construction of key ports, armed migrants to control scattered residential areas inside to avoid becoming a breeding ground for criminals.

The future plan of the place with a better environment in the valley is probably to become a tourist resort in the big food country.

Sooner or later, the Great Food Country will also have to withdraw its feudal domain, or a substantial withdrawal of the feudal domain that exists in name only.

Therefore, the industrial zone and scientific research zone should be built on the coast of the Great Qinhai Sea.

Zhu Jingyuan said his instructions, and then took the car back to the palace, and did not go anywhere to hang out.

Zhu Jingyuan himself wanted to go to the construction site and go around the Great Food Country, but Guan Tianpei did not allow it at present.

He is arranging his guards to conduct a comprehensive survey of the entire Quicksand City.

At present, there are more than 20,000 people, and he has to check all the information in the roster, household registration, and immigration procedures.

After confirming that there were no anomalous personnel, Zhu Jingyuan was allowed to move around.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Jingyuan approved plans for the establishment of schools, as well as a budget for hiring teachers from the Ming Dynasty.

After looking through the accounts of the past half a year for a while, I received a telegram from Liu Zhixin, a long history:

"Your Majesty, Grand Vizir Zaadin of the Ottoman Kingdom, I hope to visit you in a few days."

Zhu Jingyuan took the telegram and looked at it a few times:

"Didn't this old man just return to China, what are you looking for me to do right away? I heard that I now have the titles of Governor Da Shi, Da Qin Hai, and Mo Zhou? ”

Liu Zhixin said very sincerely:

"I don't know."

Zhu Jingyuan looked at the two staff members.

Niu Jian thought for a while and said:

"The news of His Highness's new appointment should not have reached these foreigners.

"Zayadine may have come to visit you for several reasons.

"First, I would like to thank you for your arrangements in Mozhou Development and continue to consolidate friendly relations with you.

"The second is about the development of Mozhou itself, there may be places where I hope you can help and support.

"Third, on the issue of occupation and distribution of Morocco, you may have your own ideas and need your support."

Zhu Jingyuan thought along Niu Jian's train of thought:

If you analyze it this way, it seems that these possibilities are possible......

"For Ottoman, the big deal now should be to stabilize the situation, followed by Morocco and Mexico.

"Since you have these thoughts, even if you want to thank me for the previous arrangement, in order to establish a friendly relationship with me, then this is not a pure relationship.

"Do you think I shouldn't let him come?"

After a little consideration, Lin Zexu said:

"My subordinates felt that the most important thing for the Ottoman State was peace of mind.

"Even if Your Highness intends to do business completely, you should let them come and explain it to them openly and honestly.

"If you refuse outright and don't let the other party come to visit, the other party may be more worried.

"After all, we have just established a peaceful relationship and jointly formed the League of Nations."

Zhu Jingyuan listened and nodded slowly:

"Yes, don't care what the other party is going to do, the country that has just signed the alliance will not see each other, so let the other party come over."

Zhu Jingyuan didn't take this matter too seriously.

But what happened next made Zhu Jingyuan start to have to take it to heart.

Two days later, Ali, the Duke of Egypt, also sent a message and hoped to visit Zhu Jingyuan.

Ali has just returned to China, but as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Ali can directly receive the notice issued by the imperial court, and he must know Zhu Jingyuan's new appointment.

So the nature of Ali's visit may be different from that of Zaadin.

But Zhu Jingyuan also did not refuse, and the logic was clearer than that of Za Yading,

Ali is a new vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and he is transferred from a hostile country, so his mentality should be more sensitive than that of the Ottomans.

Zhu Jingyuan is now Ali's de facto boss, and he has the responsibility to reassure Ali while managing him.

So Zhu Jingyuan also responded.

Then, two days later, before the Ottoman Grand Vizir Jaddin and the Egyptian Duke Ali had arrived, even more strange news came.

The patrol fleet of the Great Qin Sea, in the waters outside Egypt, blocked a suspicious ship under the Ottoman flag.

The ship sailed directly to the Western Sea Canal and claimed to be a gift ship from Tripoli Pasha to Prince Daishi.

They also did not resist in the face of interception and inspection by the Ming fleet.

The Great Qinhai Fleet arranged for the crew to come on board for inspection, and found that the ship was loaded with gold, silver, jewelry, and female slaves.

They do have a letter from Tripoli Pasha to Prince Daishi.

The Tripoli region, as well as the neighboring regions of Tunisia and Algeria, were originally nominally Ottoman vassals.

But in fact, it has long been basically independent.

Especially after the Ming Dynasty signed a peace treaty with the Ottomans, the Ottomans had officially renounced their right to rule these regions.

At the time of the Ming and Taixi wars, the Tripoli region was considered a large rear base on the front.

The Taixi troops of the Ming Dynasty are stationed here, replacing the troops in the Egyptian area in front at any time and accepting the troops withdrawn from the Egyptian area.

In the course of the armistice talks, the troops of the Tessie countries gradually withdrew, and before the armistice agreement was signed, there were no Tessie troops in the area.

After the Ming Dynasty took over Egypt, it began to prepare for military operations in the Tripoli region under the guidance of the Egyptians.

As soon as the armistice was signed, the offensive was officially launched.

That is, now the parties are de facto at war.

After losing the direct support of Tessie, Tripoli was unable to defend itself against the Ming attack, and was in a state of defeat on the battlefield.

It was only a matter of time before it was completely destroyed.

In Zhu Jingyuan's view, even if the Tripoli Pasha wanted to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, he should first contact the front-line commander directly.

And the front-line commander of Da Ming in the North Mozhou battlefield was completely unaware of the relevant matters.

The other party came directly to Zhu Jingyuan, the newly appointed prince and governor.
